Drill four holes in the surface using the marks you made. 3. Clear all paint, dirt and oil away from the area around the holes. 4. If the SU-M-900 unit is being mounted directly to the car chassis, sheet metal screws should be used. Star washers must be used to provide a ground connection through the screw to the metal car body, Or If the SU-M-900 is being mounted on a non -conductive surface , such as wood, suitable ¾” wood screws should be used. 5. In addition to the star washers a ground strap with a terminal lug is needed for connecting the SU-M-900 ground screw, which is located on the front panel, to another grounding point in the car body. 6. Affix the unit firmly in place with the appropriate screws .
BreezeACCESS SU-M Installation Guide 2-4 Installing the Antenna The SU -M-900 Antenna consists of the following components: ♦ An antenna base & whip combination ♦ A lock nut ♦ An O-Ring washer ♦ A bushing assembly with an O-Ring. Ø To install the antenna on the roof or body of a car: 1. Position the antenna as far from the emergency ligh ts as possible while still on a relatively flat surface. The surface thickness must be between 0.20” to 0.40”. 2. Drill a ¾” (19 mm) hole in the selected area. 3. Clear all paint, dirt and oil away from the immediate area around the hole. It is important that there be a clean metal-to-metal contact point between the antenna mount and the car. 4. Insert the bushing assembly into the hole from the top of the car by tilting the assembly slightly and slipping it into the hole at an angle. 5. Once the bushing assembly is inserted hold it in place either within the car, from below the hole, using a 1/2" Open-Ended wrench or Adjustable wrench, Or From above, by gripping the bushing assembly using Bent Needle-Nosed pliers inserted in the 0.1" holes on the top of the bushing as sembly. WARNING: Do not use the antenna connector to hold the bushing assembly in place. This may damage the unit. 6. Thread the lock nut onto the bushing assembly, ensuring that the O-ring is inserted in the groove of the lock nut before tightening. 7. Tighten the lock nut until it comes into contact with the surface and the O-ring is fully compressed against the surface. 8. Slip the O -ring washer over the bushing assembly and lock nut until it is flush with the surface. 9. Thread the antenna base onto the lock nut and tighten the connection using a 1" Open-Ended wrench or Adjustable wrench.
